Katsura Pieris is a stunning shrub that provides vibrant color throughout the year. In May, new foliage first emerges as a deep red before turning a glossy green hue. The leaves are quickly followed up by tiny, bell-shaped flowers in light pink. The flowers appear in April, grow in strands, and dangle from long stems.

This shade-loving perennial has a dense, rounded form, and it makes a lovely addition to border or mass planting. Feature in a container or use as a specimen. Bees are drawn to the sweet-smelling flowers, making this shrub a busy hub in the spring. Although the foliage is deer-resistant, this plant is not popular with all animals. As a broadleaf evergreen, this shrub will retain its foliage year-round. This plant grows as a perennial in USDA zones 6 through 9.

Katsura Pieris Care

Katsura Pieris needs a shady spot, so select an area that receives about 4 hours of sunlight. Water this plant weekly, but be prepared to water more often during a dry spell. Plant in rich, acidic soil that is well-drained. 

Trim the plant to maintain the shape after the flowers die back. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to encourage new growth.

Katsura Pieris Spacing

This is an upright shrub that will grow 4 to 5 feet tall and wide. Plants can be spaced 3 to 5 feet apart for a lush look.

    Great fresh tree!

    Posted by Sharon Luther on Sep 29, 2023

    Although the delivery was made months after I ordered, due to the severe heat wave we were in the tree arrived in beautiful condition. It was packaged carefully and was easy to open as directed.

    Dinky!

    Posted by Sarah Storrs on May 07, 2023

    The fern I purchased was almost $40 and I received a very dinky one at that. I was surprised and not very happy. I’ll give some credit in the fact it’s healthy. Sarah
